Be bella pilates
My love for graceful and efficient movement in dance and my research on the connection between beauty and bio-mechanics led me to develop Be Bella Pilates. In my technique beauty is the result of three elements: alignment, grace and strength. Be Bella Pilates respects the natural design of the body creating a powerful core, long strong muscles and a effortless beautiful posture.
Mission
There is an innate potential for beauty, glow and deep sense of wellbeing that come from the ease and grace of how we move our body. The result is a toned, vibrant sensual body that we honor and enjoy. It is my passion to help women recognize, access and manifest this natural beauty.

“Flavia has a deep knowledge of the body both from her dance background, her study of biomechanics, and her experience with various bodies modalities. At 40, and wise beyond her years, she is emphatic and encouraging about one’ a capacities and abilities. She stays with you, sometimes with hands on until you get it right. Flavia meets you were you are at, and while she is having you stretching, aligning and moving using the natural movement of the body to undo bed habits, she never pushes too hard, believing that a gentle approach to the body is the most effective. This itself has is own lesson. Flavia is a pleasure to work with.”
